Compare Energy Prices First — Decide Later

Many UK households want to compare energy prices without immediately handing over their email address or phone number. This is understandable. For years, some comparison sites have required contact details upfront, often leading to unwanted marketing emails or sales calls before users have even seen a single tariff.

In 2026, expectations have changed. Consumers want clear prices, transparency, and control — with the option to provide contact details only when they actively choose to request a personalised quote or switch supplier.

This guide explains:

  • What energy comparison you can do without contact details
  • When email or phone details are required (and why)
  • How to compare energy prices safely and privately
  • How to stay in control of your data while still accessing the best deals

Can You Compare Energy Prices Without Email or Phone Number?

Yes — for standard energy comparisons.

You can compare energy prices on UtilityKing without providing an email address or phone number when you want to:


  • View available gas and electricity tariffs
  • Compare unit rates and standing charges
  • Estimate annual costs
  • See potential savings in your area

To do this, only non-personal information is required, such as:


  • Your postcode
  • Estimated annual energy usage (or an average)
  • Current tariff type (optional)

This allows you to explore the market freely, without sign-ups or pressure.

What You Can Do Without Contact Details

You do not need to provide contact details to:

Compare Electricity Prices

View all available electricity tariffs in your area

🔥

Compare Gas Prices

See current gas rates from all suppliers

📊

View All Tariffs

Fixed, variable, dual fuel, and single fuel options

UtilityKing separates price comparison from quote requests, so you stay in control throughout the process.

When Contact Details Are Required (Important)

While comparison can be done anonymously, contact details are required if you request a tailored quote or choose to switch supplier.

This is because energy suppliers must:

  • Verify property and meter details
  • Confirm eligibility for specific tariffs
  • Generate accurate, personalised pricing
  • Contact you if clarification is needed
  • Set up an account if you proceed

Key Points:

👉 Simply viewing prices does not require contact details.

👉 Requesting a personalised supplier quote does require contact details.

Why Tailored Energy Quotes Require Contact Details

A tailored quote is different from a general comparison. It takes into account:

🏠

Your Exact Address

🔢

Meter Configuration

💳

Payment Preferences

⚖️

Supplier Eligibility

Suppliers are legally required to associate this information with verified contact details. This protects both the customer and the supplier and ensures the quote you receive is accurate and valid.

UtilityKing only requests this information after you choose to proceed.

Privacy-First Comparison: How UtilityKing Is Different

Many comparison sites collect contact details early because they operate as lead-generation platforms. UtilityKing is built differently.

UtilityKing's approach:

  • No email or phone number required to compare prices
  • No forced account creation
  • Clear separation between browsing and requesting quotes
  • Contact details requested only with user intent

Your data is not sold, and you won't receive unsolicited calls or emails simply for comparing prices.

Is Energy Comparison Without Contact Details Accurate?

Yes. Comparison accuracy depends on:

  • Location (postcode)
  • Energy usage (kWh)
  • Tariff pricing data

It does not depend on your name, email address, or phone number.

Anonymous comparison provides the same pricing visibility as signed-in comparison — the difference comes only when you move to a personalised quote or switch.

How to Compare Energy Prices Without Sharing Details (Step-by-Step)

1

Enter your postcode

Start by entering your postcode to see tariffs available in your area.

2

Add estimated gas and electricity usage

Provide your estimated annual usage in kWh, or use averages based on your property type.

3

View available tariffs in your area

See all available tariffs from UK energy suppliers without any sign-up.

4

Compare total annual costs

Compare the total annual cost of each tariff including standing charges and unit rates.

5

6

Request a tailored quote only if you choose to proceed

Only provide contact details when you're ready to get a personalised quote or switch.

This approach allows you to compare freely and act only when you're ready.

Common Myths About No-Email Energy Comparison

"You won't see the best deals."

False. Prices are not hidden behind sign-ups. All available tariffs are visible from the start.

"It's less accurate."

False. Accuracy depends on usage and location, not contact details. The calculations are identical.

"You'll be contacted anyway."

False. Without contact details, suppliers cannot contact you. We don't share data without consent.
